That which does not kill us makes us stronger. There were number of trials in my life, and I learned to repeat for myself and for other people, that everything happens for the better, and under no circumstances one can lose heart! While we fight - we live! Ilnytska Yulia, 2012 winner

Training for journalists within the Global Initiative for Breast Cancer Awareness

The training for mass media representatives took place in Kyiv on March 30-31, 2012 within the Global Initiative for Breast Cancer Awareness being implemented by Ukrainian Women's Fund.

First Step to Success Program participants Gurnytska Evelina and Tarkaniy Hanna were invited to take part in this two days' event

«Training on such topic is necessary for journalists, as to some extent it depends on the m, whether a woman would visit a doctor timely. Especially because journalists often make mistakes in writing materials on such delicate topic. And in general, particualrly journalists partially perform the function of popularizing healthy life style.

The training was interesting, comprehensible, full of information. Professional level of presenters was high, topics were interesting for us both as journalists and as women.

The most interesting in this event was its practical aspect. Particularly, stories of survivors. I think they are the very persons who can tell everything TRULY. But I should mention that so-called theoretical aspect from practicing doctors is also necessary and really interesting. Besides, I learned a lot as practicing journalist. I mean writing informational message, which we did in teams. Team work is always a valuable experience. Besides, I remembered certain rules of writing media mterials.  

During these two days we got acquainted with new people we are going to collaborate with in future. I believe that together we would be able to do something for Ukrainian women to preserve their health»
